Active Learning‐Accelerated Discovery of Fibrous Hydrogels with Tissue‐Mimetic Viscoelasticity
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Active learning accelerates the design of fibrous hydrogels that mimic the viscoelasticity of native tissues. By integrating multi‐objective optimization and closed‐loop experimentation, this approach efficiently identifies optimal formulations from thousands of possibilities and decouples elasticity and viscosity. The resulting hydrogels offer tunable

Image Based Localization with Simulated Egocentric Navigations
Proceedings of the 14th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications, 2019 Current methods for Image-Based Localization (IBL) require the collection and labelling of large datasets of images or videos for training purpose. Such procedure generally requires a significant effort, involving the use of dedicated sensors or the employment of structure from motion techniques.
